'70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

One thing to keep in mind when switching from MDS to Non MDS lifters is the yokes. The bodies where the MDS lifter receive into the yoke is physically larger. If you put a NON MDS lifter in the spot where an MDS lifter was, there will be too much slop. As in, the lifter can rotate slightly in the yoke.

That’s good to know, thank you! I’d originally planned on reusing my yokes but the new non MDS lifters come with new yokes.

Another question, is it a bad idea to reuse the factory oil pump? Varying opinions out there.
